Uhhh... so who exactly is this for? Someone smart enough to think "I wonder when my internal hard drive is going to fail" but retarded enough to not be able to figure out the software for a backup drive? I don't think there's much of a market there, unless they're trying to create one by scaring people into thinking their computer WILL die no matter what. I agree that this would be infinitely more useful if it served as a storage device for your camera and then perhaps copied pictures back and forth between your computer.
I'm wondering why they don't sell things like this for general use, not just photos. It's not very big and holds a hell of a lot more than a thumbdrive.
